- Discover how Irish General Gough led the British forces in India to victory over the Sikhs and why his statue was blown up by the Irish Republican Army a century later.
- Relive the strategic brilliance and tragic betrayal within the Sikh ranks.
- Experience the fury of the Sikh artillery and the heart-wrenching separation of Maharani Jind Kaur from her son.
- Follow the odyssey of the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond from Ranjit Singh's vault to the hands of British conquerors.
- Discover the British attempts to mold the young Maharaja Duleep Singh into an English aristocrat.
